- What: EVMbench is a new open-source benchmark designed to measure how well AI systems can detect, patch, and exploit vulnerabilities in Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contract code.
- Impact: The benchmark aims to improve the ability of AI systems to identify and address vulnerabilities in smart contracts, which often control large pools of assets.
Smart contract exploits continue to drain funds from blockchain projects, even as auditing tools and bug bounty programs grow. The problem is tied to how Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contracts work: code is deployed permanently, runs autonomously, and often controls large pools of assets. That environment has created demand for better ways to measure whether AI systems can reliably detect, patch, and exploit vulnerabilities in contract code.
